The new black and yellow bats from Easton's 2013 Power Brigade line up are designed to fill the needs of every baseball player. The XL models (Yellow) are designed for players who can swing a heavier bat and have the power to swing a larger barrel. The XL1 fills this role with a composite handle and composite barrel. The Black Carbon composite used in the barrel is exclusive to Easton and provides the most performance and durability ever put into an Easton BBCOR bat. All 2013 Power Brigade bats receive the new Easton Diamond Grip in 2013. Because it is heavier, the Easton XL1 BBCOR is recommended for larger/stronger individuals and power hitters. All new graphics cover the 2013 Easton XL1, and as always, Easton composite bats come with a 400 day warranty against defects.

Pros: The XL1 is absolutely a great bat. I am 6'3", so I can swing a heavier stick. I really like the bigger barrel on the XL1 versus the S1 (which I also like). Easton is simply dominating the bbcor bats. If you are a big guy like me then get the XL; Leave the S1 for the little guys.

Pros: This bat is amazing!
I know its the heavier of the Easton BBCOR bats this year but it just has so much more pop than the S1. The Sweet spot is so much bigger that you'd be crazy to buy the S1 if you can swing the X1!

Pros: Easton blew the competition away with the xl series. The 2013 IMX composite is Easton's best composite. This bat has no flaws. They balanced the weight perfectly it feels so much lighter than its is. If you are a big kid this is the bat for you!
